Amazing offering of rich cuisine
The best Cambodian foods are mostly available in Battambang - at street vendors, local markets, culinary excursions or at tourist restaurants. What can you expect when you visit Battambang? The best Cambodian coffee, along with delicious French pizza and excellent Indian food, as well as terrific burgers and icy beer in hip bars, is found in this Cambodia's second most populous city. You can easily spot inexpensive local eateries, cozy cafes of your choice, or dining options that specialize in Western and Asian cuisine while strolling through Battambang's streets.
Pomme d'Amor or Lotus restaurant is a must-visit if you enjoy both traditional French cuisine and inventive dishes that blend French and Cambodian cuisine. Another recommendation is the Battambang Night Market, which is nearby the Central Market on the Snagker River. Opening from 4 pm daily, this location offers wonderful street cuisine and grocery stores that are worth visiting. For the best coffee in town, you might try Cafe Kinyei or Cafe Eden. If you are interested in Khmer cuisine, Jaan Bai, Mlob Chan, Smokin' Pot and White Rose Restaurant are recommended. Going on a Battambang street food tour is an interesting way to experience the food culture there. Some of the signature dishes visitors should try are song fak with rice noodles, banh chhev, banh ja’neuk (glutinous sweet rice balls), bor bor peak (porridge made with rice, fish, and vegetables) and banana with coconut milk.
